Just Foreign Policy

Just Foreign Policy

Just Foreign Policy is an organization founded in 2006 that is dedicated to reforming U.S. foreign policy through coordinating the broad majority of Americans to advocate their interests and values, largely through Internet actions styled on those of MoveOn.Org and similar groups. It has promoted various actions for U.S. citizens to take to lobby their representatives in the U.S. Congress to avoid a war with Iran, reject a weakening of the War Crimes Act, end the U.S. occupation of Iraq, and to de-escalate the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.

According to the group's website, its founding president is economist Mark Weisbrot, and various press releases list its national coordinators as Robert Naiman and Chelsea Mozen.
